My sister, a medical doctor, decided to treat me with vitamin D recently. She told me that I needed to take this vitamin even though I live in Sri Lanka.Vitamin D works in many ways. It helps to regulate Calcium & phospates in the body. It helps in respiratory diseases. During the first wave of Covid, the Italians noticed those who initially succumbed had lower Vitamin D levels. When the SARS infection broke out, the older people were dosed with IV injections of Vitamin D with a strength if 15,000 IU and above. The exact mechanism is unknown but Vitamin D is an active bystander in several infectious diseases.

As I mentioned before living in SL or in the Sun doesn't help much. With dark skins the Vitamin D synthesis is low. Here's a recent notification from the MOH.My sister, a medical doctor, decided to treat me with vitamin D recently. She told me that I needed to take this vitamin even though I live in Sri Lanka.

"Among Sri Lankan adults Vitamin D deficiency was 58.8% and insufficiency 31.4%. Overall around 90% of Sri Lankan adults are not having adequate levels of vitamin D. A study conducted in Southern Sri Lanka (2013) found that overall VDD among community-dwelling healthy women was 56.2%. Another study found the age and sex-adjusted prevalence of VDD was 57.2% in an adult Sri Lankan urban population (2015). Among school children aged 10-18 years (2017), the prevalence of VDD and VDI was 13.2% (95%CI: 11.9%- 14.5%) and 45.6% (95%CI: 43.7%-47.5%), respectively. The results shown imply the high burden of VDD & VDI which suggests the government plan mitigation strategies to reduce the attributed disease burden in the country."
Just take 2000IU a day.
PS: You can always do a blood test and check.
2000IU is more machan, I took 1000IU per day, it is also 125% of daily value.As I mentioned before living in SL or in the Sun doesn't help much. With dark skins the Vitamin D synthesis is low. Here's a recent notification from the MOH.

Forget the RDA for the West but do NOT exceed 4000IU. Have you ever taken a blood test for Vitamin D levels? If so, let me know the results.2000IU is more machan, I took 1000IU per day, it is also 125% of daily value.![]()
